I began having flank pain on the left side
about 3 weeks ago had dipstick and
negative then culture saying had uti.
Took cipro, made me horribly sick, stopped
and the pain came back with a vengance on
both sides and in the rib area also
burning pain in my back. I feel awful. I
was put on macrobid but its taking forever
to work and ended up at the urgent care
center. They took more tests but dont know
the results yet. I am having pains in
back, constipated, not as much urination
now, and now my groin nodes have swollen
and they hurt so much. I'll add I never
had burning upon urination. Does this
sound like kidney infection or something
else. Also has anyone been on Macrobid
for Kidney infection and how long did it
take to work????
Any help greatly appreciated..

Hi and Welcome to ehealth
Sorry you are suffering like this.
Did they do an ultrasound or CT scan? Are
you seeing a urologist?
Do you have any blood in your urine? Does
the pain get worse when you increase your
fluids?
It could be anything from an infection,
kidney stone, obstruction (UPJ or UVJ type
obstruction). I've had all of these.
I haven't been on Macrobid in years but if
I remember correctly it took a few days
before I began to feel a little relief.
Are taking anything to help with the
pain?
